Alienation
Kritickill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Head is spinning round and
Round and I don't know if it's
Gonna quit maybe I can slow it
Down enough to get a grip tried
Those pills but it don't feel like
They're doing shit maybe head-
First off the roof it just might
Just can't take this anymore
Talk to yourself pretend you're
Not crazy if you think you can
Count me out I can't win waste
Of time there's nobody listening
I've had enough of this
World take me away this wasn't
Meant for me I think I see
Right through you put me down
But your words they just don't
Bother me you don't realize
That I'm for sale nothing's for
Free my advice to you would be
To practice what you preach
People like you make this
World a fucked up place to be
Now I see that I've been holding
Back but I feel that's about
To end it's too late for you to
Start trying to be my friend
Hope you understand the message
That I'm gonna send got to
Play by the rules if you ever
Want to win.
The lyrics to Kritickill's song "Alienation" speak of a person who is experiencing deep feelings of frustration and despair with their life. The first line, "Open your eyes feel like my head is spinning round and round," sets the tone for the song's internal chaos. The person feels overwhelmed, and they don't know how to make it stop. They have tried different approaches, like taking pills or considering desperate measures, but nothing seems to work.
The lyrics then speak about the social isolation that the person is experiencing, feeling like no one is listening or understanding them. They've had enough of the world and feel like they don't belong. The words "Take me away, this wasn't meant for me" express a desire to escape from the constant turmoil that they are feeling. They feel alienated, and in the last verse, they reject any attempts at friendship or connection.
The song deals with themes of mental health, isolation, and the need to conform to societal norms. The lyrics emphasize the importance of standing up for oneself and, in the end, playing by the rules if one ever wants to win. Overall, Alienation speaks of the universal human experience of feeling lost or disconnected and offers a sense of solidarity to those who are struggling.
